These religions are also close with Taiwan society and people life. Since the training and education of religion manpower is the critical effect to religions development, this study uses document analysis to investigate the development of major religions and the training and education of religion manpower (including missionary, professional, academic, and general knowledge) in Taiwan for the purpose of understanding existing conditions and problems. In addition, this study uses in-depth interviews and questionnaires to investigate the training and education of Dzongsar Institute. This study tries to give reference to Taiwan via comparing the training and education between Taiwan religions and Dzongsar Institute. The results indicate that since the difference of environments and development between Taiwan religions and Dzongsar Institute, the orientation between Taiwan religions and Dzongsar Institute is also different. The religions in Taiwan are diverse and the religions in Taiwan should tie with the development of Taiwan for improving the development of religions. In the other hand, Dzongsar Institute sets at a single religion environment and has no visible competition so Dzongsar Institute could to its best to develop Tibetan Buddhism and foster the manpower. Moreover, there are different training and education of missionary, profession, academy, and general knowledge between Taiwan religions and Dzongsar Institute. Summary, Taiwan religions are developed in training and education of missionary, academy, and general knowledge but should improve in professional training and education. On the other hand, Dzongsar Institute is not developed in training and education of missionary, academy, and general knowledge but is developed in professional training and education. Therefore, this study suggests enhancing the depth of professional training and education and improving the courses and contents of professional training and education in Taiwan religions.
